Wow - it sounds like you have had some interesting trips!
My TV has a key with an embedded chip that is required to start the engine. I had a generic key (without a chip) made for my TV that opens the door, but will not start the engine. I keep this key in a magnetic holder under the TV in case I ever lock my keys in it. If a thief ever finds the key underneath they will only be able to open the doors with it (but not directly start the engine), offering some measure of protection. Of course, any motivated thief will no doubt find a way to steal it regardless.
For backing into campsites my DW and I have a nice system. I primarily use the GOAL method (Get Out And Look), with her there as a backup. The only thing she needs to do is loudly yell STOP if I am about to hit something or to answer any questions I may have (such as does that look good). Of course it helps that I consider myself pretty good at it and typically get my TT backed into spots in only one go. ;) use the goal that's why I have not, knock wood, hit anything. Her ego gets hit every time I get out, though. I really want her to back it in. It will never happen. I think Santa will bring me a back up camera.
Safe travels!
